ps and kill

Use the ps command to get information about what server processes are running and to report process status. For example:

1. At the UNIX prompt, type:

   ps -efl.

2. Search for the filename of the daemon process (for example, statisticsd). This process has the UID of the user who started the server software daemon process (usually root).
3. Search for the filename of the client process, statisticsproc.exe. There is one process for each end user currently connected to the server software. The UID column displays the login ID of the end user who owns the client process.

   Use the kill command to kill a process. For example:

4. Log in as the user that started the daemon.
5. At the UNIX prompt, type:

kill -9 pid

where pid it the process id of the process.

The server software daemon also automatically creates a file that contains its process ID. Instead of manually finding the PID with the ps command, you can use this file in conjunction with the kill command directly to kill the daemon process directly:

kill -9 `cat statisticsd.pid`

Note: If you want to use the administration application to monitor and kill processes, you must start the server software with the startup script provided by IBM® Corp.. See the topic Controlling Service Startup for more information.
